Evidence of Us

Through long-term intergenerational projects, Evidence of Us seeks to position people as experts in their own heritage by foregrounding local knowledge and supporting otherwise under-explored histories.

Sitting alongside the Fire Station archive, Evidence of Us will contain a wide range of creative and discursive engagements with heritage. Co-developed with artists and local communities, the programme will critically reconsider who has access to heritage and support people to write their own narratives.

Evidence of Us is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund

Community Forum

The Community Forum is a collective of local people who meet three times annually to inform and shape the South London Gallery’s new strand of heritage activity, Evidence of Us.

Grow Our Histories

The South London Gallery (SLG) in partnership with the Peckham Townscape Heritage Initiative, are looking to interview people connected to the local area who would like to share their memories and experiences of Peckham and Camberwell.

The Archive Is Political

In Autumn 2018, artist and film-maker Ed Webb-Ingall brings together the Local History Group from the Southwark Pensioners Centre and the South London Gallery’s Art Assassins to respond to the provocation: ‘what was your first political act?’
